“Rival's warm greeting”
Hotel Rival is a lovely fabulous stay — a great peaceful Stockholm neighbourhood opposite a park with a fountain, very near the metro, restaurants and shops nearby, an excellent amazing breakfast including gluten-free, a comfortable bed for good rest, clean quiet rooms, a fantastic greeting on walking in — no pretend-busy reception here — and super helpful friendly desk staff; guests will return. Caveats though: nearby parking is difficult and the hotel's is dear, the bathroom's wet-dry separation is poor, and there is no in-room kettle — hot water or coffee comes by paper cup from the fourth-floor pantry.
